they`re better off adding presets to the frigging estate tools first...
Agreed--and that's despite the fact I rarely leave the Mainland. Adding another half-baked bit of rendering baggage before they get the previous one working decently is just asking for trouble. I'm all for making progress on improving the graphics, but this is software engineering with ADHD.

Guess it depends on which side of the street your from...


Good point, Kyllie, but I think I'm mainly ranting about improvements that keep being made to benefit those with the latest technology while the rest of us have to either buy an improved computer or dial the graphics quality way down. What's the point of shadows if so many folks won't be able to see them?

It would be nice if work was done on things like lighting issues (daytime makes everyone cadaverous looking and sunset seems to be simply bright red), the ever present lag problems, and the miriad of other things affecting ALL residents before playing around with embellishments.

:mad:

I'm STILL trying to figure this one out. I use freebie skins and they look fine in the default lighting. I've rarely seen skins that look bad and the few that did weren't well made to begin with. Sunset is pretty realistic lighting too. When I've stood in the light of a sunset (no shadows on me), it looks pretty close to what I'm seeing in SL. Exactly what is it others are seeing which I'm missing?
